No Is Not Enough – Naomi Klein
Naomi Klein, the bestselling author of No Logo, The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything, has spent decades writing about the relationship between corporate power, politics and crisis. In No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need, she applies those insights to the political moment that followed the 2016 United States presidential election.
Klein argues that the rise of Donald Trump was not a sudden aberration but the product of long-term trends she has documented throughout her career: the growing influence of corporate brands, the use of crises to push through unpopular policies, rising inequality and the failure to confront climate change. She examines how branding and reality television shaped his political persona, and she warns of the risk that future shocks could be used to further weaken democratic institutions and environmental protections.
The second half of the book turns from critique to proposals. Klein maintains that simply opposing policies is not sufficient, and that movements must offer a positive and inspiring vision of an alternative. She describes grassroots efforts and the creation of the Leap Manifesto in Canada as examples of how diverse groups can come together around a shared program for social and environmental change.
Passionate, urgent and clearly argued, No Is Not Enough is a book for readers interested in politics, economics, activism and climate policy, and in Klein’s influential perspective on how societies respond to crisis.
